✅ Complaint: Can I change my Study Centre or Regional Centre?

✅ Answer:

Yes, IGNOU allows students to change their Study Centre (SC) or Regional Centre (RC), but it must be done within certain conditions and deadlines.

📌 Rules for Changing Study / Regional Centre

1. Before Admission / Re-Registration
   • You can select or modify your preferred Study Centre / RC while filling the admission or re-registration form online.
2. After Admission / Re-Registration
   • Changes are allowed only with RC approval.
   • Valid reasons include:
     • Relocation due to job or residence change
     • Health or family issues
   • Approval is case-by-case and not automatic.
3. Limitations
   • Some courses have restricted Study Centres; changes may not be possible if the new SC doesn’t offer the programme.
   • Changing RC may delay assignment submission, project evaluation, or exam hall ticket generation.

📌 Steps to Request Centre Change

1. Write to Your Current Regional Centre
   • Include: Name, Enrollment Number, Programme, Current SC/RC, Requested SC/RC, Reason for change.
2. Attach Supporting Documents
   • Address proof, job transfer letter, medical certificate, etc., if applicable.
3. Wait for RC Approval
   • Once approved, IGNOU will update portal, assignments, and hall tickets according to the new SC/RC.

📌 Important Notes

• Always request centre changes well before assignment submission or TEE.
• Keep written approval from RC as proof in case of discrepancies.
• Some requests may be denied if the new SC does not offer the chosen programme.

👉 Tip: Check the IGNOU RC list and confirm the programme is offered at your desired SC before requesting the change.
